A little off topic: Why isn\'t \"The Phantom Menace\" out on DVD? Damnit!!
In case anyone important from Lucas Film or Skywalker Sound ever browses around here: I think it really sucks that the Phantom Menace hasn't been released on DVD. The widescreen VHS resolution is terrible. VHS blows! Gimme my Star Wars on DVD!!!
Okay...back to Pro Tools topics... |

Remember 'Titanic'? Marketing strategy 101:
VHS -> LD -> DVD So curious people buy multiple release. Just be patient. They'll available soon or later.

Re: A little off topic: Why isn\'t \"The Phantom Menace\" out on DVD? Damnit!!
I heard thru "UN" reliable sources that Mr. Lucas wants to wait to release all three new episodes on DVD simultaneously! Marketing strategy. Great collectors item - if you want one episode, you have to buy all three! $$$ Smart man. Disagree with the way he does things inthis case cause I also would just love to have episode #1 on DVD in 5.1
Oh well, we'll just have to wait, I ain't buying it on VHS (yark!) Cheers ------------------ Ray Fabi Ton of Bricks Studios Montreal 514-990-2713 |

Nope,
Lucas is THX + DVD is not THX = unhappy Lucas Maybe Someday they'll stop squabbling and we will get all those great movies on DVD! [This message has been edited by ProTool1 (edited April 14, 2000).] |

Re: A little off topic: Why isn\'t \"The Phantom Menace\" out on DVD? Damnit!!
correct on both. money and lack of THX quality are both reasons why there is no dvd. but with 100 million in sales on the FIRST DAY! Hell they dont need dvd. I reccomend the sony playstsation games!!! In fact after playin the adventure one ( I forget the name) im begining to think the made the game first to get it right, and then shot it on film!! The podracer game is pretty cool too. Cant wait for playstation II (5:1 sound yipee!!!)
IMHO the games are way better than the complete waste of celluloid the 'film' was. they might as well have shot it on DV cam! I'm got my ear to the ground for more rumors pertaining Jet Li being cast as bobbafet (spelling?) in episode II!!! or in Matrix II since they left his scene in Matrix on the cutting room floor speaking of Jet Li ( and to bring this back to pro tools, sorry ) ALL the music for his awesome new movie Romeo Must Die as was played back off a 24 bit Pro Tools system for the final mix. Of course it went digitally to a Neve Digital film console for the final mix but....... matt |

Lucas doesn't want you to have digital copies of his Star Wars movies.

simple, lucus and and his THX are 7.1 souround sound, dvd only supports 5.1. I'd hate to say never but, don't expect to see any Lucas stuff on DVD.
